TWO Brazilian nationals have been charged with murdering a man who was found stabbed at his home in Worcester.

Joao Luis Correia De Oliveira, 33, of Northfield Street, and Marco Antonio Santos Da Rocha, 32, of Broad Street, are accused of murder between January 12 and 14. They were arrested at separate locations in the city on Sunday, West Mercia Police said.

A post-mortem examination showed the victim, who has not yet been named but is known to have lived in Windermere Drive, died from multiple stab wounds.

Detective Superintendent Andy Rowsell, who is heading the inquiry, said: "Even though we have been able to charge two men with murder only four days into the investigation, there is still a considerable amount of work to be done.

"We have not yet found the murder weapon, which we believe to be a long knife. We are also looking for a door key that has substantial relevance to the investigation.

"If anyone finds a discarded knife or a key we want to hear from them as soon as possible."

Detectives also want to speak to anyone who may have seen two men walking from Windermere Drive to the Arboretum area of the city between 11.30pm on Saturday and 12.30am on Sunday.

They are believed to have walked along Windermere Drive, Langdale Drive, Brickfields Road, Rainbow Hill and Lansdowne Crescent.
